She Was Already Beautiful

She was already beautiful
But it was her strangeness that made her shine
Deep forest green and Chocolate brown hair
Large soulful pupils surrounded in a sea of silver matter
A sterling silver ring delicately hanging from the center of her nose
Large round tunnels in either lobe, with dainty diamonds floating above them
She was already different
But it was her personality that made her unique
Frowning was a sin in her eyes, she never let them come around
Always giving a mischievous grin, quick to cause a playful riot
Loved by many and hated by few
She was never one to start a fight, but if the time came
She was quick to finish one.
She was already strong
But it was her scars that made her unstoppable.
Pale white vertical marks against her caramel skin,
An all too frequent reminder of the pain of Death and the gift of Life.
Dented knees and a jagged tooth
Memoirs of her resilience to pain and her will to move on
She was already alive,
But her ability to know all of this
Made her live.
